Half-Time Report: Pittsburgh Steelers in control at the break

Steelers in control at the break

The Pittsburgh Steelers hold a comfortable 14-point lead over the Cleveland Browns in their NFL clash at Heinz Field.

The Steelers took the lead on their first drive of the game. Ben Roethlisberger led them downfield and then fired to Jerricho Cotchery on a swing pass and he powered through two tackles in the endzone for a nine-yard score.

Pittsburgh doubled their lead as Roethlisberger once again moved his side downfield and he handed the ball off to rookie running back Le'Veon Bell, who ran over the right side of the line and was pushed into the endzone for the five-yard score.

Cleveland tried to respond just before the break but couldn't get anything going on the offensive side of the ball as Jason Campbell struggled.
